Chapter 46: Master of Raising Gu
Chu Luo sat in the car and tilted her head to look at the night scenery under the streetlamps outside. She could see the expressions of the three people opposite her in the reflection.
Chu Ting’s Gu worm was still acting up, and her lips had already been torn from her biting them so hard. Her flesh was covered in blood, and the sweat on her forehead made it look like she was about to collapse.
Wei Wei was so anxious that she kept wiping her tears. “My dear daughter, we’re almost at your uncle’s house. Hang in there for a while.”
Chu Zhengyang kept looking at the time. After a minute or two, he urged the chauffeur, “Drive faster.”
It was three in the morning and there were few cars on the expressway. The car drove quickly.
Actually, Chu Luo could have refused to go to the capital with Chu Ting. She had no idea what method that legendary Gu Master from Miaojiang would use to remove the Gu poison from Chu Ting’s body. But since she was the one who had poisoned Chu Ting, she wouldn’t allow anyone to remove the Gu poison.
Moreover, she planned to investigate what had happened back then and go to Imperial University to take a look.
The car drove for more than six hours. When the sun rose from the horizon, they finally arrived at the Wei residence.
The Wei family was indeed worthy of being deemed one of the wealthiest families in the capital. Their residence was located in a high-class villa district with high walls and a compound that spanned thousands of square meters.
The car drove into the Wei residence and stopped in a special parking spot after driving for a while on the tree-lined road.
There were a few middle-aged men and women waiting outside the car. The first person Chu Luo saw was a middle-aged man dressed in Miao clothing with two bells hanging on his waist.
This person gave off a sinister feeling, a residue from raising Gu worms for a long time. Standing there, he gave people the sense that he was dangerous.
When Wei Wei saw them, her crying turned into wails. “Brother, Sister-in-law, Tingting has fainted from the pain.”
Wei Yongchang quickly said, “Carry Tingting down. The room and people are ready. We can transfer the Gu worm away from Tingting now.”
Chu Luo frowned when she heard this.
How could they speak of such a sinister Gu transfer method so breezily!
Chu Zhengyang got off the car first and turned around to take Chu Ting from Wei Wei’s arms. He then nodded at Wei Yongchang and said to the master, “Master Xiang, please.”
Master Xiang didn’t speak immediately. Instead, he took a step forward and lifted Chu Ting’s eyelids to look at her for a while. He then asked, “Did your daughter suffer a heavy blow before?”
These words made Chu Zhengyang and Wei Wei’s expressions turn even uglier.
Chu Zhengyang said, “Tingting didn’t score well this time. She lost control of her emotions.”
Master Xiang shook his head disapprovingly.
The others became anxious.
First Madam asked in a hurry, “Master, is Tingting’s mood related to the Gu worm on her?”
“Yes.” Master Xiang nodded. “The host’s emotions affect the Gu worm greatly. As long as the emotions fluctuate too much, the Gu worm will act up. When the Gu worm acts up, it will be difficult to control. Because of this, I can’t guarantee that I can transfer it away successfully.”
“What.. what should we do?” Everyone turned anxious.
Master Xiang said, “I’ll calm down her Gu worm first. After your daughter has recuperated for two days and has calmed down, I’ll transfer the Gu worm from her body.”
The others could only agree.
First Madam said, “Take Tingting back to her room first.”
After saying that, they quickly walked towards the enormous villa.
From the beginning to the end, none of them remembered Chu Luo, who was still sitting in the car.
Chu Luo waited for them to leave before getting out of the car. She stood by the car with her hands in her pockets and sized up the environment.
In front of her was a large European-style duplex villa with marble steps and jade stone statues. There was a circular fountain in front of the villa, and the surroundings of the fountain spread out in a circle several ways.
As the Chu family came over every Chinese New Year or holiday, Chu Luo had her own room in this villa. She walked around the villa and towards a door at the back.
However, shortly after, she saw a young man in a sports t-shirt and shorts running over.
This person was Wei Zhicheng, the youngest son of the Wei family, who was 23 years old and getting a master’s degree at Imperial University.
Fourth Young Master Wei studied business management and often followed his father to the company to handle work. Therefore, he already had the aura of a shrewd businessman.
Chu Luo stopped and made way for him. She had no intention of greeting him.
Wei Zhicheng was obviously a little surprised to see Chu Luo. He slowed down as he ran up to her and asked, “When did you guys arrive? Why are you here alone? Where are Aunt and the rest?”
Chu Luo replied, “We just arrived. They went in.”
Wei Zhicheng guessed something, so he nodded at her and continued running.
Chu Luo continued walking towards the back.
The Wei residence’s greenery was not bad. It was lush, and there was a huge swimming pool behind the corner.
It was only past six in the morning, but to her surprise, someone was already swimming there.
It was Wei Jingcheng’s two daughters, Wei Wushuang and Wei Xueying.
The two sisters swam two laps and happened to sit by the pool to talk.
Wei Wushuang said, “I heard from Mom that Young Aunt and the others are coming tomorrow. They will be transferring the Gu in Tingting’s body to someone else.”
Wei Xueying kicked the water with her legs and said in pity, “Cousin Tingting must be feeling awful. After she transfers the Gu away, we’ll have her stay in the capital. She’ll come over to Imperial University anyway. She’ll be taken better care of at our house.”
“I think so too.. I don’t have class today, so I’ll go have a spa session so that I can attend Feifei’s family banquet tonight.”
“I only have class in the morning. I’ll come and look for you in the afternoon. The people attending the Ouyang family’s banquet must be from prestigious families. Maybe that man will go too.”
At this point, Wei Xueying couldn’t help but sound a little shy. “I’m going to dress up beautifully. Maybe that person will notice me then.”
“Sister, you..” Wei Wushuang’s voice suddenly rose, but she quickly suppressed it and said worriedly, “You are really bold to fall for that person. Don’t you know that our family has a grudge against that person? If Mom and Dad find out, they will beat you to death. ”
“Shh.. That’s why I’m only telling you. Have you thought about it? That person has been suppressing our family recently. If I really catch his eye, our family’s crisis will be resolved.
“Moreover, in business competitions, the loser and winner aren’t clear-cut.
“He owns the world’s largest entertainment company. I study acting. If I can be with him, I’ll have any resources I want in the future.”
“Our family has resources too.”
“How can we compare to him? The entertainment company under his name is the top in the world. Only his company has the ability to make me an international movie queen in a few years.”
“But..”
“Sister, are you not mesmerized by his peerless beauty or attracted by his powerful charm? Don’t you want to become his woman?”
“There isn’t a woman in the entire empire who isn’t mesmerized by his gorgeous looks. However, even towards his family, he.. He’s nothing but a cold-blooded and ruthless demon.
“Sister, you’d better not fall for him. Otherwise, you’ll end up sad.”
It was obvious from Wei Wushuang’s tone that she was worried about Wei Xueying.
Wei Xueying, on the other hand, firmly believed that she might become the exception. She didn’t want to listen to advice anymore. “Don’t worry, don’t worry. I know what to do. Let’s go and swim for another two laps before having breakfast.”
With that, the two of them jumped into the pool to swim.
Chu Luo had been walking over from the side path and had happened to hear their conversation, but she didn’t pay much attention to it.
